I'm decorating my living room, white walls then a feature wall, which is floral taupe wallpaper.
What colour accessories (cushions etc) go with taupe?

You need a contrast colour, I have a similar colour scheme and I have used shades of teal/blue/aqua etc.

I have a taupe feature wall and taupe paint elsewhere. My accessories are green, yellow and black and white. I have a black sofa though. Although you can't see the yellow armchair in the photos below as it's just out of shot but it has a green cushion on.

Thanks, I have been thinking teal and mustard

My old sofa was teal and it looked really good with the taupe. Unfortunately it was too big for the room so had to go (donated to charity). Sounds good to me

I've got pale taupe walls with pale blue accents. It looks lovely

Thanks everyone, I'll maybe take the paper into a shop and try colours out with it

Out of nonsense interest, do you pronounce it toe-p or taw-p?

othersideofforty · 03/02/2020 07:50

Errm damnthatanxiety, I say taw-p! But I'm sure from other parts of the country they say it differently!

Toe-p

I'm from London originally. I didn't realise people pronounce it any differently 😂

Toep.

My walls are a fairly light taupe. I have a dark grey sofa, a grey/white rug, and burgundy accents
